The coolest sewing item

        I recently inherited some sewing accessories. A few hem gauges(?), some pinking shears and snip shears. But the coolest thing I received was a darning maraca. They are for repairing socks, usually they are egg shaped but this one is actually the shape of a maraca with a night handle. Very useful. I have been looking for a darning egg forever, I never thought to look for a maraca. And this just fell into my lap. I have a million and one socks to fix and now I can.
